The other night I was annoying my wife and her armpits (she’s ticklish in case you didn’t guess) and it got us thinking how many people out there are obsessed with armpits? We decided to do some research on what was available online, and how many people were actually seeking out armpit material online.

The search brought us to a much used tool provided by Overture called the Search Term Suggestion Tool. This tool tells you how many times someone has searched for a particular term or phrase in Overture’s database in the last 60 days or so. Excellent tool, we use it all the time for legitimate business needs, so we decided to start there. The tool however was (and currently is) NOT working. Seriously Yahoo! get your act together, that system is down more than it is up.

Moving on, my backup tool is a service provided by WordTracker.com This tool works much the same as Overture’s, but with one big difference; it doesn’t fail every time I try to use it. They require you to enter in a name and email address (*cough* bogus *cough*) in order to start the trial, but once you get in you have access to the most important feature; keyword count.

Great, so I type in “armpit” and get the following results (the number after the term is the keyword count)

hairy armpits 1225
armpit 639

men armpits 224

male armpit 63

This means in the last 100 days, there have been 1125 searches for “hairy armpits”.

I head over to Google and actually search for “hair armpits” just to see who’s taking advantage of this booming and lucrative market.

First up; AllThePits.com.
This is a pretty funny site to be #1 as it features a hairy pitted female on the front page with her arms in the air and an invitation to “Enter the Temple of Pits”. I entered the temple, but was shown only this message “Watch for the site re-opening in November”.

Second result; Hairy armpits vs hair removal.
This site is a “hard copy” if you will of a discussion that occurred on an online BBS about pit hair. The author expresses his love for the hair that occupies the pit and the responses are posted below. My favorite blurb; “Armpit hair is, to this het bloke, a magnificent forest of scent and intimacy that I enjoy with my partner. The often tart taste and smell is kinda like the lemon and salt after the tequila!” Ok then.

Third result: Yahoo!’s directory on Hair Women.
Yes Yahoo has an entire directory for hairy women, featuring HairyDivas.com, HairtoStay.com and my favorite; Hard Hairy Hippy Sex (WARNING, if you actually click to go to that site, please make sure you’re not succeptable to seizures brought on by flashing colors and lights, the background is pretty trippy)

Fourth result; Stroke My Giant Hairy Armpit
“Massive, furry sweat glands, and the hot babes who want to have sex with them. Dry pits win!” I couldn’t make that up if I wanted to folks, it’s actually an article at SFGate.com about some ads that were done by Axe (you know those body deodorant people who’s ads always hint that simply wearing their stuff will cause women to cling to you like a stripper to a CEO?). The article is pretty good and includes some great scans of the magazine ads they placed.

This article led me to Axe’s website, were you can play PIT MADNESS They wanted me to signup so that’s where I left it, so I’ll leave that for you to try out (it’s also available on your cell phone just in case you need PIT MADNESS on the go)

The final stop in my armpit voyage was to find a suitable image for this blog posting, so I did a Google image search for armpit and used the first result. Surprisingly it was an article on….. well, I’ll let the following blurb explain…

“Male sweat contains one or more chemical signalling compounds, known as pheromones, that can affect both a woman’s state of mind and her reproductive hormone levels, according to a study by Dr George Preti, of the Monell Chemical Senses Centre in Philadelphia, and colleagues.”

Going back to keyword counts, to put this in some perspective here are some other keyword phrases and their respective keyword count (keep in mind hair armpits is at 1125)

prostate cancer treatment 370
breast cancer awareness 599
discount office furniture 652
santa clause is coming to town 951
homeowners insurance 953

You get the point, armpits are big.
